Rainbow Alternative
Each Rainbow Alternative original design is hand-stenciled and spray painted by the 2 tiny hands of Philadelphia-based artist Nicole Krecicki. This means that NOTHING is mass-produced and each item is a little different in its own special way :) The goal of Rainbow Alternative is to spread social change through wearable art- while providing a unique alternative to the “slap-a-rainbow-on-it” pride-wear we’re all used to (and completely over!) by now.

Stewart Charley Ventures
Two recent college graduates who always had the idea for an
invention: a dip bowl with a special rim that would push salsa and
other messy dips back onto the chip when scooping. They jokingly named
it ‘The Salsabol.’ After graduation, they kept kidding around that they should quit their jobs and follow their dream to make the Salsabol a reality. At about the same time, the boys realized that if they actually put their minds to it, they could stop dreaming and make it happen. Late last year they decided to make the leap of faith to create their own business and bring the Salsabol to life. Nine months later they have a factory, a warehouse and a tiny office that doubles as a dining room…and our Salsabols!
